Huge If True - Cleo Abram

There is a microscopic technology that now gives us the power to edit our own genes while we’re alive. To cure certain diseases, possibly prevent others, or boost what our bodies can do… or maybe, one day give our kids abilities no one has ever had before… effectively putting evolution into our hands. This is not some sci-fi future! We’re already using this technology in real medical treatments in...

The biggest question I hear about NFTs is: “Why can’t I just screenshot that?” Or, put another way, why does a digital image that can be copied have any value? The answer, it turns out, isn’t in an explainer about blockchain technology (you’re welcome). The answer to why NFTs have any value is hiding in the art market that came before them. Because NFTs are weird, but it turns out art is already e...

If you want the big picture (and to start from the beginning), watch this Huge Conversation with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. In the last few years, NVIDIA has skyrocketed to become one of the world's most v...

You’ve probably heard about nuclear fusion. Maybe you've heard recent news about the Livermore National Lab achieving a nuclear fusion breakthrough called "ignition" - meaning it produced more energy than it took to start the reaction. That's a huge deal! But it leaves other questions unanswered. I wanted to know more. I started by asking the CEO of the nuclear fusion company Helion all my big que...

What can this human-like robot really do? Subscribe to support optimistic science and tech stories! You might know Atlas, the famous robot that does parkour and throws heavy objects in Boston Dynamics’ popular YouTube videos. I visited Boston Dynamics to challenge Atlas to a little friendly competition, to see what this robot can REALLY do. I wanted to answer a question I’ve had since I was a kid:...

Robot dogs are here. But why? Subscribe if you like optimistic science and tech stories! You might think you already know Spot, the robot dog from Boston Dynamics. Maybe you saw a viral video of it opening a door, or dragging a truck, or dancing. But now, this robot has hit a HUGE milestone... Spot got a job! These robots are now out in the real world doing real work, for fire departments, factori...

You’ve heard about quantum computers. Maybe you’ve seen the “race for quantum supremacy” between governments and companies, or read that quantum computers will break all encryption, or heard terms like “qubits” or “superposition” or “quantum mechanics” in a confusing tv segment. But you might be wondering… what does a quantum computer actually DO? And how could it actually affect my life? ‪@mkbhd‬...

This new image will help us answer the biggest question: Are we alone? Subscribe if you love optimistic technology stories. NASA just released the first pictures from the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever built. They’re incredible. They show the deepest we’ve ever seen into space, stars being born, galaxies colliding. But the least beautiful one is my favorite. It’s the...

We attempted nuclear fusion. In Simone’s workshop. Subscribe for more optimistic science and tech stories! Disclaimer: This build was supervised by experts at Helion. Do not try this at home. I still can’t believe this video really happened. Back in May, I interviewed Helion CEO David Kirtley. I was trying to understand nuclear fusion: Is nuclear fusion possible now? How does fusion actually work?...

The Huge Conversation with Mark Zuckerberg... I interviewed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg before Connect. There are not many people with more power over our future. Right now, Mark Zuckerberg and his team are imagining the future billions of people might live in, soon, and building towards it. So, in this conversation, my goal is to figure out what that future looks like. To paint a picture of the futu...

Today I’ve been invited behind the scenes at Walt Disney Imagineering, the place where Disney brings their craziest ideas to life - from STUNT ROBOTS to a real life version of The Force, to adorable little droids! On this show Huge If True, we explore how tech can improve people’s lives - by living longer, going farther, doing more. But the reason I’ve loved Disney since I was a kid is they use te...

Fracking made it possible to get and burn much, much more oil and natural gas. To do it, companies drill into rock deep beneath the Earth's surface and pump in fluid at high enough pressure to crack that rock open, allowing the trapped oil and gas to escape into their pipes. But the fossil fuels they released have directly contributed to climate change, and we're all now paying the price. But here...

I’m finally learning the truth about dinosaurs. I’ve loved dinosaurs since I was a kid, but it turns out a lot of what I thought I knew is wrong… or at the least outdated. So, in this video, I’m gonna show you the cutting edge of dinosaur discovery. I’ll give you rare access into a warehouse full of dinosaur bones, try to find my own fossil, and show you something new these scientists just discove...

When should artists get paid in a world with AI music? Subscribe for more optimistic science and tech stories! Artificial intelligence is changing how music gets made - and how musicians get paid. AI is letting people clone artists’ voices, create completely new songs as fake collaborations, generate lyrics in seconds, even produce full tracks just by typing in a few words. It’s all causing some t...
